Have you ever found yourself clinging tightly to control, only to feel even more out of control? I recently had the opportunity to interview a guest who asked a powerful question: “What if I can’t let go?” It’s a question that resonates with so many of us. We long to live fully and freely, but fear, insecurity, and the weight of comparison hold us back. We think holding on will help—but true strength is found in surrender. In this episode of The Love Offering podcast, I chat with Caitlin Mentzel about her book More Than Conquering: A Season of Surrender where we explore:

Day 51 - Calling is Connected to the Vision, Not the Visionary   Habakkuk 2:1-20    Vision is a heavenly answer to an earthly problem. If you are frustrated by something broken in the world, that might be the very thing you're called to fix. Complaints can reveal assignments. Vision is fueled by pain or passion. Some visions are born from deep wounds that fuel change. Vision is always primary. The visionary is secondary.   Recognizing Your Vision & Calling What problems deeply frustrate you? Could that frustration be a sign that God is calling you to be part of the solution?   Overcoming Fear & Self-Doubt   God will give the vision to someone else if you don't act on it. Does this statement challenge you? How does it motivate you to start taking action now?

Today, we have a powerful and deeply honest conversation with Naeem Fazal, author of "Tomorrow Needs You." Naeem grew up in Kuwait in a Pakistani Muslim family, survived the Gulf War, and eventually found himself in the U.S. grappling with questions of identity, fear, and faith. What followed was a series of raw, spiritual encounters that opened his heart to Jesus in ways he never expected. In our conversation, we talk about what it means to find hope when everything feels lost. Naeem shares how the beauty of Jesus began to reshape his story, and why perfect love, not just faith, is what truly drives out fear. We explore the idea that hope isn't something we chase after, but something the Holy Spirit grows within us. This conversation is a reminder that beauty matters, that creating something - even something small - can pull us into the presence of God, and that tomorrow does, in fact, need you. Join us as we create something beautiful. Naeem Fazal, a Pakistani, was born and raised in Kuwait. He grew up in a Muslim family, was a teenager in the midst of the Gulf War, and came to the United States in 1992. He had a supernatural experience with Christ that changed the course of his life. He is the author of Ex-Muslim and Tomorrow Needs You, and the founding pastor of Mosaic Church in Charlotte, NC. Naeem and his wife Ashley have two amazing children and unfortunately two cats.Naeem's Book:Tomorrow Needs YouNaeem's Recommendations:Culture CareLust for LifeThe War of ArtSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Scripture References: Matthew 10:5-31, Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 3:13-18, Proverbs 10:27, Proverbs 14:26-27, Proverbs 15:16, Psalm 19:9, Psalm 25:12-14, Psalm 31:19-20, Psalm 34, Isaiah 33:6, 1 Samuel 21, Ephesians 4:17-18, Colossians 2:3Intro:Good morning, everyone! We're diving into Matthew chapter 10 today, drawing wisdom from Jesus, Solomon (from Proverbs), and David (from the Psalms) to understand the fear of the Lord. We'll see how this powerful concept can actually free us from all our other fears.Key Points:Jesus' Bizarre Halftime Speech (Matthew 10):Jesus sends out His disciples with a message of the Kingdom, healing, and deliverance.But then the message takes a dark turn: "I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves."He warns of persecution, betrayal, and hatred, yet astonishingly commands, "Do not fear those who kill the body... Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."This isn't a typical pep talk, but a profound invitation to a greater fear that delivers from lesser ones.The Fear of the Lord: The Beginning of Wisdom:Proverbs 1:7 famously states, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."This "fear" isn't a cowering dread but a reverent awe that leads to friendship with God (Psalm 25:14) and is described as "clean" and "enduring forever" (Psalm 19:9).It's a treasure that brings stability, strength, and life (Isaiah 33:6, Proverbs 10:27, 14:27).Fear's Grip: Lessons from David (1 Samuel 21 & Psalm 34):Even heroes like King David succumbed to fear, running, hiding, lying, pretending madness, and forgetting God's faithfulness.Fear often leads us to strongholds – places we seek for safety that become captivity. It makes us huddle with those just like us.Psalm 34 is David's testimony and sermon after God delivered him from his fears.Fear is a faith revealer: It exposes what we boast in, what we magnify. To be free, we must boast in and magnify God (Psalm 34:1-3).A Greater Fear Delivers from Lesser Fears:Just as the fear of rejection might make you jump off a bridge, or the fear of losing a child makes you brave the ocean, a greater fear can trump lesser fears.The fear of the Lord is not a fear of Him, but a fear of going without Him—a reverent submission that keeps us in step with Him.This fear leads to refuge in God (Psalm 31:19-20), obedience, and faithfulness. It frees us from the compromise that worldly fears demand.Conclusion:The idea that "the only thing to fear is fear itself" is a lie. The one thing we should fear is the Lord. And in this divine exchange, when we fear Him most, He delivers us from all other lesser fears, leading us to abundant life and wisdom.Call to Action:As we come to the table, let's ask God to expose the fears that reveal what we've put our faith in. Let's boast in Christ's sacrifice, knowing He's made a way for us to live free from fear's influence. Receive His broken body, and ask for a healthy fear of the Lord – one that is pure, clean, endures forever, and leads to fullness of life. Come to the table, and if you need prayer, a team is ready to minister to you. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Gary Waldron, an author and speaker who has truly mastered the art of reinvention. With a fascinating career trajectory that spans 44 jobs, including being a school teacher, consultant, and even a topless waiter, Gary shares his profound insights on adapting to change and the necessity of reinvention in today’s volatile world. We had violent agreement on so many topics that it's like Gary is 'a brother from another mother'. We explored topics surrounding his book, "Mastering the Art of Reinvention," and delved into the mindset shifts required to view life’s challenges as growth opportunities. Gary also discusses how to harness AI's power effectively in one’s career for those looking to reinvent themselves, allowing for growth without traditional boundaries. What You'll Learn: The Concept of Reinvention: Understand why reinvention is not solely the end goal but a continual process of adapting to new opportunities. The Role of Genetics in Change: Discover the link between the dopamine receptor gene and novelty-seeking behaviour, explaining why some are more inclined to embrace change. Understanding and Leveraging AI: Learn how AI can propel personal and professional growth by providing democratised access to information and creative exploration. Coping with Life Changes: Gain insights into handling significant life transitions, such as career shifts or personal upheavals, through Gary's personal experiences. Creating a Growth Mindset: Develop a mindset that views challenges as experiments, encouraging proactive action rather than fear-induced paralysis. Key Takeaways: Embrace Change: Accept that change is constant and inevitable; the more you practice adaptation, the easier it becomes. Mindset Matters: How you perceive challenges—as either threats or opportunities—significantly influences your ability to navigate them. Quality Prompts Make a Difference: In the age of AI, the quality of the questions you ask can dictate the usefulness of the solutions you receive. Authenticity and Values: Aligning your actions with your core values such as authenticity can guide you successfully through transformations. Living Fully in the Present: While planning for the future is crucial, excessive focus on it or dwelling in the past can detract from present contentment.

How much of your life is cluttered with things that distract from your true priorities?Today Art speaks with professional organizer Angie Hyche. Angie reveals her five-year struggle with fear before finally pursuing her calling as a certified pro organizer. Her story begins in a theater prop room where she discovered her obsession with bringing order to chaos. Yet fear kept her in a safe school job until a bike trail conversation with her husband changed everything. "There are thousands of people less intelligent than you starting businesses," he said. That moment of courage launched not just a business, but a complete transformation of character.Angie's wisdom goes far beyond physical organizing. She courageously admits to avoiding God through busyness and mental clutter. "I can have a full schedule and be promoting my business, yet I'm not taking time to spend with God," she confesses. Her definition of clutter as "anything that distracts from priorities" revolutionizes how we view our stuff, schedules, and spiritual lives. What would change if you stopped avoiding the "horrible alone" and pushed past fear to discover what's calling you?Angie Hyche is an author, speaker, podcaster, and retired certified professional organizer (CPO®) who helps people overwhelmed with clutter in their homes, schedules, or minds. She spent 7+ years working in client homes, believing only by eliminating what doesn't matter can we prioritize what does. Her books include "Unholy Mess: What the Bible Says about Clutter" and "Uncluttered: Shaping Your Heart & Home for What Matters Most" with co-author Liana George. Living in East Tennessee with husband Eric, Angie's goal is helping people declutter their lives to focus on what's most important.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

Imagine this: you've finally finished building your product after countless late nights. The code works, the demo is ready, and your first prospect is waiting. Your heart races because you know one thing for sure: if this person says no, nothing else matters. On this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, host Joran Hofman chats with Zoltan Vardy, founder of The Launch Code, about why this exact moment is so important. As a founder, you're not just pitching a product—you are the product's voice, its story, and its proof. Customers don't care about fancy features or your funding round. They care about solving their pain. And when that pain is real, they need someone who truly understands it—you. Founder-led sales give you the chance to connect directly with buyers, test your messaging, and build trust in ways no marketing tool can. According to Zoltan, it's not just about selling. It's about leading with purpose, listening deeply, and learning fast. If you're not leading the charge, you're missing the biggest growth opportunity your startup has.Key Timecodes(0:00)- Importance of Solving a Problem in Sales  (0:38)- Introduction to Founder-Led Sales and Guest Introduction  (1:23)- Misconceptions About Sales for Tech Founders  (2:40)- Case Study: Banners and the Importance of Problem-Solution Connection  (3:27)- Why Founder-Led Sales is Crucial  (4:40)- Example: Camp Map and Founder-Led Sales Turnaround  (6:00)- Common Mistakes in SaaS Sales  (7:20)- Zoltan's Blueprint for Successful Founder-Led Sales  (9:44)- Starting Sales: Value Proposition and Customer Targeting  (11:43)- Overcoming Fear and Pain of Selling  (13:13)- Transformation Example: Action Audit  (14:53)- Sales as a Transformation Process  (16:07)- Challenges in Implementing the Blueprint  (18:32)- Steps to Get Started with Sales Today  (20:00)- The Myth of Hustle Culture and Real Sales Work  (21:16)- AI in Sales: Enhancements, Not Replacements  (23:30)- Preparing for Objections in Sales  (24:16)- The Future of Sales with AI Integration  (26:05)- Sales in Enterprise: Importance of Personal Touch  (28:00)- Case Study: Dextery's Clear Problem-Solution Connection  (30:01)- Iteration in Value Proposition and Market Fit  (32:29)- Persistence in Entrepreneurship  (32:39)- Summary of Key Advice on Founder-Led Sales  (33:09)- Advice for Growing SaaS Companies: Zero to 10K MRR  (33:55)- Advice for Scaling to 10 Million ARR  (35:05)- Final Summary and Key Takeaways  (37:21)- Zoltan's Offer: Free Chapter of The Launch Code Book  (37:45)- Encouragement for Founders to Embrace Selling

Monique is an award-winning, Grammy-nominated opera singer turned international speaker and coach.   00:00 "Commanding Presence and Influence" 04:02 Embrace Authentic Presence 07:29 Harness Your Unique Origin Story 13:42 Tony Robbins: Inspiration Amid Challenges 14:50 Empowering Voices for Stage Presence 19:25 Multilingual Recital Singer's Impact 23:49 "Tosca Performance for Royalty" 27:54 From Performer to Entrepreneur 30:33 Preparing Energy for Visibility 35:00 Overcoming Stage Fright 37:19 "Overcoming Fear of Isolation" 39:13 Magnetic Speaker Visibility Kit 42:44 Personalized Goal-Setting Session   UNLEASH YOUR STAGE PRESENCE You're working so hard to deliver value with every episode, but if you're not connecting deeply with your audience, all that hard work may be falling flat. On this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, we get laser-focused on what it really takes to become magnetic and unforgettable—no matter your platform. Whether you're on a podcast mic, YouTube camera, summit stage, or even a one-on-one call, your stage presence is the true game-changer. Let's dive into how your authentic story and presence—not just your content—move people into action.   BUILDING MAGNETIC PRESENCE STARTS WITH INTENTION It's not about simply sharing great trivia or being perfectly polished. Your audience wants someone real, someone whose energy shines through every word and every moment. I share exactly why focusing on your story — your origin, your principles, your "why" — is essential for creating that spark. Lean into your real experiences. Use your own story as a filter for your content. When you do, people connect to your message and become committed followers, not just passive listeners.   LESSONS WITH MONIQUE MCDONALD — TURN YOUR VOICE INTO YOUR SUPERPOWER This week, I'm joined by the phenomenal Monique McDonald—the "Magnetic Voice Mentor." Her journey is a masterclass in turning personal loss and transformation into a mission to help entrepreneurs and speakers shine. From performing for royalty around the globe to finding her voice as a coach, Monique reveals how true stage presence starts with energetic preparation and a willingness to let your authentic self come through. In this conversation, she gives us actionable tips for preparing your mind, body, and emotions for any "stage". Her tips include how the power of breath and body language can set you apart.   PRACTICAL TOOLS FOR EVERY PODCASTER AND SPEAKER Packed in this episode are concrete ways you can quickly ramp up your own presence. Stand up and smile—even when no one can see you! From harnessing the sound of your smile to owning your backstory, these tools are designed to help you command a room of any size. If you've ever struggled with "imposter syndrome" or nerves before stepping up to the mic, you'll find Monique's perspective on fear, preparation, and focus liberating.   NEXT LEVEL VISIBILITY WITH THE MAGNETIC SPEAKER VISIBILITY KIT Ready to stop hiding and start radiating confidence on every platform? Monique has created the Magnetic Speaker Visibility Kit. This is a free 10-day journey full of her most effective exercises and vocal techniques, designed just for leaders like you.

They discuss managing patient demand, leaving insurance networks, strategic expansion planning, and maximizing chair utilization. The conversation covers construction strategies that minimize patient disruption, financing options, tax benefits of real estate investments, and architectural planning using 3D visualization tools. They also explore financial projections, overcoming expansion fears, community engagement, and the value of mastermind groups for professional development and support. TAKEAWAYS Alex Edgerly welcome and background Alex is currently planning to expand his practice from 7 to 12 operatories. He has transitioned out of insurance networks to improve profitability. Alex trained his staff on effective patient scheduling and communication. Alex's journey reflects the challenges and rewards of dental entrepreneurship. The excitement during construction can positively impact practice revenue. Engaging patients and staff during construction can minimize disruption. Understanding the structure of construction loans is crucial for financing. Community needs should drive decisions about practice expansion.

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.
